envirmental science
science
science
is process of gaining knowledge about the natural world
applied science
using science to solve real world promblems
basic science
doing science purly for learning and knowledfe
envirmental science
the study of the living and nonliving parts of the envirment
scientific method
defined steps to reserch the world
scientific theory
wildly accepted, thourolly tested idea yet could still be proven wrong
scientific law
describes how elements of nature behave
natural sciences
phisics
matter and energy
geology
earth science
biology
life science
chemistry
substance and interaction
environment
cross disiplinary
expirment
indpendet variable
changed by the expirment
dependant variable
changed because of what the expirment changed
control group
don't receive the expirmental treatment
expirment group
recives the new tratment
constant
stays the same
variable
a factor that can be changed and manipulated
reasoning, ethics and sustanibilty
reasoning
inductive reasoning
logical thinking that relates observations to a general conclusion
ex: all cats i've seen are orange so all cats must be oarnge
deductive reasoning
logic that uses general principles or law to forecast specific results
ex: I know all people drink water so this guy I saw must also drink water
ethics
frontier ethics
earth is unlimited keep moving after we use up all resources in one place to then go to another resource rich place
sustainable ethics
people treat the earth as a finite resource
land ethics
the land includes the soil, water, plants, animals and people. an people are just another member of the community not the boss
ethics are morral principles that govern a persons actions
sustanibility
living within the earth without significantly impairing its function
meets needs of the present but does not negatively affect future generations
precautionary principle
people must use caution when activity's thereten humans or the environment, especially with incomplete knowledge.
human interference issues
the mechanization of industry and agriculture
cells
prokaryotes
simpler more basic cell
they include bactirea and archea
all are single celled
smaller
no nucleus
no organelles
eukaryotes
more complex
can be singlecellular or multi celllulsar
larger
include animals, plants, fungi, and protist
has nucleus
have organells
in common
cell membrane
DNA
cytoplasm
ribosomes
matter and energy
matter
anything with mass and volume
atoms, molicules, cells, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, biosphere
conservation of matter
matter can not be destroyed or created
energy
the ability to cause change
heat energy
energy of an object because of its tempiture
chemical energy
energy stored in atoms and atomic bonds
potential energy
energy based on its position relative to stress, itself,electric charges and other factors
kinetic energy
the energy and object has because it is moving
metabolism
all chemical reactions in the body
bioenergetics
study of energy in living organisms
thermodynamics
a part of phisics that has to do with heat, work and energy transfer
entropy
messurment of the disorder of something
first law of theromodynamics
change in the internal energy of something is equal to the heat added to the system minus the work
second law of theromodynamics
energy spreads out overtime, so 100% efficacy is impossibke
open and closed systems
open
allows both energy and matter through
closed
only allows energy through
